  • 2018 Draft Amendment to the Blue Ridge Wilderness
    BLUE RIDGE WILDERNESS Draft Amendment to the 2006 Blue Ridge Wilderness Unit Management Plan NYS DEC, REGION 5, DIVISION OF LANDS AND FORESTS 701 South Main St., Northville, NY 12134 [email protected] www.dec.ny.gov November 2018 Introduction The Blue Ridge Wilderness Area (BRWA) is located in the towns of Indian Lake, Long Lake, Arietta, and Lake Pleasant and the Village of Speculator within Hamilton County. The unit is 48,242 acres in size. A Unit Management Plan (UMP) for this area was completed in 2006. This UMP Amendment contains one proposal: Construction of the Seventh Lake Mountain – Sargent Ponds Multiple-Use Trail. Management Proposal Construction of the Seventh Lake Mountain – Sargent Ponds Multiple-Use Trail Background: During the planning efforts that led to the drafting and adoption of the Moose River Plains Wild Forest (MRPWF) UMP, it was realized that there is a great need for new, land-based snowmobile trail connections in the area. As a result, the 2011 MRPWF UMP put forth a conceptual proposal for a snowmobile trail leading eastward and north of MRPWF that would connect to the Sargent Ponds Wild Forest (SPWF) trail system—pending the adoption of a SPWF UMP. Ultimately, the Seventh Lake Mountain – Sargent Ponds Multiple-Use Trail will provide a land-based connection between the communities of Indian Lake, Raquette Lake, Inlet, and Long Lake. The proposed trail system will greatly reduce rider’s risk associated with lake crossings and traveling along and crossing major roads. Management Action: This UMP amendment proposes construction of a portion of the Seventh Lake Mountain – Sargent Ponds Multiple-Use Trail and its maintenance as a Class II Community Connector Trail.

    Mike Prescott: Field Notes, Topic Log, and Interview Transcript Raquette River Dams Oral History Project Mike Prescott Field Notes Interview with Mike Prescott for the Raquette River Dams Oral History Project Collector: Camilla Ammirati (TAUNY) Recording Title: Mike Prescott (7.16.15) Format: Audio Digital Recording Length: 00:51:02 Machine Model used: Roland R-05 Wave/MP3 Recorder Interview date: July 16, 2015 Time: 1:30pm Place of interview: The TAUNY Center in Canton, NY Setting and Circumstance: Mike was glad to make a visit to Canton, so he met Roque Murray of WPBS and me at The TAUNY Center. We talked in the classroom, which made for a somewhat echo-y recording. Additional Notes: I first met Mike at the Raquette River Blueway Corridor group meeting the spring before I started on this project. He’s an Adirondack Guide and a historian of the river, and he has written a fair bit about the river’s history for the Adirondack Almanac. While he came to my attention as someone who shares our interest in the history of the dams rather than someone who was involved in or affected by their building, talking with him revealed his own personal connection to the dams’ history. As a child, he went to see the construction in progress, and it clearly stuck with him. He came back to the dams through his later interest in paddling and otherwise exploring the outdoors in the region. One particularly striking idea that came up in our discussion is that his main interest in the dams is, in a sense, an interest in the history of the dams that weren’t built.

  • BUILDING on UPPER SARANAC LAKE a Guide to Using Natural Beauty and Traditional Adirondack Architecture to Your Greatest Advantage
    BUILDING ON UPPER SARANAC LAKE A guide to using natural beauty and traditional Adirondack architecture to your greatest advantage. Origins of the Adirondack Style In the late 1870s, William West Durant, son of a railroad tycoon and the first Adirondack developer, built the first "Great Camp" on the shores of Raquette Lake. Camp Pine Knot was a collection of rustic dwellings that resembled European Swiss chalets, but with a primitive, naturalistic flavor that inspired a new architectural style. Durant was followed by William L. Coulter, who designed many camps, including Prospect Point (now Young Life), Eagle Island (now a Girl Scout Camp), and Moss Ledge, all on Upper Saranac Lake. Today, Great Camp innovations permeate the Adirondack building style. This brochure will guide buyers of undeveloped lots, and those who wish to renovate or add onto camps, as they join the historic building tradition of the Adirondacks and bring their own creativity to their future Great Camp. Three characteristics distinguished Adirondack camps: 1. Camp buildings were closely integrated with the landscape 2. Each camp had a distinctive compound plan with separate buildings for separate functions 3. Camps represented the first and fullest application of a rustic aesthetic in America Start with a Tour of the Lake by Water Adirondack architecture strives to harmonize with the surrounding scenery. Prospective camp owners should tour the lake slowly by water. Note the architectural features of the "Adirondack style" and, just as important, the placement of structures within the landscape. During your trip, consider how the following guidelines enable both old and new structures to blend in: 1.

  • ADIRONDACK COLLECTION Mss
    ADIRONDACK COLLECTION Mss. Coll. No. 32 1848- present. 5 linear feet History The Adirondack Mountains are a range of peaks in Northeastern New York State related geologically to the Appalachian Mountains to the south and the Laurentian range in Quebec to the north. The mountains consist of very ancient rock, about a billion years old, which has been uplifted into a “dome” over the last 5 million years or so. Human habitation of the Adirondack region is quite recent. Native tribes of Mohawk and Algonquin Indians hunted in the region, but did not settle there. The first Europeans explored the area in the mid 17th century. As settlement of the region began, the vast timber resources of the Adirondack forest were exploited for building materials and fuel. This exploitation continued for nearly 200 years as demand for wood for timber and land for farming and mining grew. By the mid 1800s, public appreciation for the remote Adirondack wilderness began to increase as writers and artists romanticized the region. Tourism increased as the concept of the “Great Camp” became popular. Larger numbers of city dwellers came as railroads made the region more accessible. By the late 19th century, concern over the depletion of the Adirondack’s resources resulted in calls for the region to be preserved “forever” as wild forest. In 1885, the Adirondack Forest Preserve was created and in 1892 the Adirondack Park was formally recognized and given the permanent protection of the New York State Constitution two years later, thanks to the pioneering work of conservationists like Verplanck Colvin and Seneca Ray Stoddard.
